March 13, 2008

Steve Williams, keyboardist for UK melodic power metal band POWER QUEST, has joined DAVID SHANKLE GROUP (DSG),the band led by former MANOWAR guitarist David Shankle.

Commented Steve: "I'm pleased to announce that, after being approached by ex-MANOWAR shred demon David Shankle, I am the new keyboard player in DSG, who are based in Chicago!

"I'm really excited about working with David, Jeff and Mike and can’t wait to get started on the writing process for what I'm sure is going to be a killer album! Dave and I have already talked about so many ideas and we are definitely on the same metal wavelength."

Video footage of David Shankle shredding the axe at this year's winter NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show, which was held January 17-20 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, can be viewed below.

DAVID SHANKLE GROUP's latest album, "Hellborn", came out on July 6, 2007 through Magic Circle Music.

According to a press release, "Hellborn" is "a very different animal to [its predecessor], 'Ashes to Ashes' [2003], and offers something for all fans of true metal.

"David is known for having a vast array of musical influences and styles at his command. 'Hellborn' is a perfect example of that flexibility. The solid team of musicians that David has assembled, along with the steadfast efforts of soundman, engineer and amplifier guru Jay Walsh of Farview Recording, has ensured that 'Hellborn' is a powerful and impressive sophomore effort from the DAVID SHANKLE GROUP."
